honer is an Edmonton born and Vancouver based electronic musician who has been composing minimal electronic music for more than 10 years.
The inspiration for a majority of his composition comes from his natural surroundings especially nature and the sounds from it. honer's music is an amalgamation of found and sampled sounds that are later sonically altered to ones created on a variety of synthesizers. At times he can spend several months perfecting one sound in a particular arrangement. The purpose of spending so much time to create sounds in honer's words is to ".... exploit each part of a sound to draw on all of it's characteristics and emotion."
Venues have ranged from record stores (Listen records and Megatunes), cafe's (naked cyber), halls (children of Iraq relief fundraiser, Mead hall), art galleries, modern dance performances (citie ballet), and even The Alberta Legislature Grounds (w/ Clinker). honer also was apart of the development and promotion for “Warm Fuzzy” held in December of 2009 at The Azimuth Theatre in Edmonton. It was a multi-disciplinary evening including, music, visual projections and photography. also he recently completed a composition for convergence contemporary dance showcase.
honer's first experience with electronic music came when he first purchased an album by Canadian industrial pioneers Skinny Puppy. Ever since that time honer has been drawn to the infinite sonic possibilities that electronic music has to offer.
As his experiments in electronic music has evolved his influences have as well. He has also made the foray into modular composition, which will be a staple in upcoming compositions.
Through electronic music honer hopes to reveal that there is complexity in minimalism and beauty in simplicity.
